What I could use for greenscreen
Could I use a bunch of green cardboard papers on a wall for a greenscreen.
Or is it worth it to buy fabric that is green?

A lot of stuff! You could go buy Green paint from a hardware store and paint a wall with it, or just a 4x8 sheet of wood, or you could go find any solid green material. Like a tablecloth as was used here. Your idea would probably work, but be very time consuming if you wanted a very big screen. In fact my mom is in town right now and knew I wanted some green material to make a screen and she found some for me at the fabric store that was $1.50 a yard. So she got what was left of it which was like 3 yards. Im going to make my screen about 4.5 ft x 7 ft, just enough to stand in front of right now.

Wait. Why not cardboard? You know those project presentation large size papers, for a dollar for 1.
Why not that?
Maybe the kind-of waxy surface would make reflection problems. Would that be a concern for post-production.

You are all wrong except for TheMonkeyMan. The correct answer is there is no right answer. Just try out many different things until you find something suitable for the project. Where cardboard may work great for one project, fabric may be better for another.
I've used cardboard, foamboard, bedsheets, and even CD cases for color screens. As long as it works, it matters not what it's made of!

What I use it 300x30 Table Cloth that you can buy at a local party supply store for like $13bucks. You keep it wrapped in the roll and their is enough to cover variouse walls in a room neatly and evenly and it works very well! Could use green could use blue and even red! Adobe Keys it out very good and so does Vegas Video [Hell if Vegas can key it anyone can] but I suggest the Adobe After Effects for Keying After Effects 6.5 comes with very good award winning keying software. I know it is expensive you could also get a student discount on it or even buy it off ebay like I did.

Did you not even read my post? lol I know your point, you just repeated my last post simply.I3lade203 wrote:Yeah, but some things work better then others epsilon. If you can get an easier keying becuase you do one way over another , why create more work for your self?

I'm gonna have to go with this one. Get some thing big, bright green, and if you can key it out, you can use it. Whatever you do, don't go out spending 80$ or something on a greenscreen just becuase it's labled "profesinal" Hell, I wouldn't spend more then 15$ on something for a greenscreen.Parallax wrote:as long as it comes up bright green on video you can use anything... doesnt matter what you use.
